I grew up in Pompano BEACH Fl Collier city, on 7th St and the ol side on 4th court...to be exact...To us, the place where everybody loved to come play and hangout. That was during a time when everyone treated each other like Family. We went outside to play, we got dirty and we rarely ate fast food....we ate chips, drank pop, ate now-n-laters, candy, pickles, etc. We played Simon Says, Mother May I, Red Light/Green Light, Hide and Go Seek, Jacks, Marbles, Tag, Hopscotch, Double Dutch and Checkers, and raced against each other in the street. The older guys played football in the center field against opposing neighborhoods. There was no bottled water, we drank from the water hose. We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings, walked to the corner store and rode our bikes for hours without a cell phone. Climb Mango Trees. We weren't AFRAID OF ANYTHING not even The Police. If someone had a fight, that's what it was...a fist fight. Kids didn't have guns when I grew up. The street lights were your curfew. School was mandatory. We watched our mouths around our elders because we knew If you DISRESPECTED any grown up you're gonna get HIT with whatever's close...
